Wasp-Borne Genes

Wasp-borne genes are genes that can be transferred from wasps to other organisms, often through a parasitic or symbiotic relationship. For example, some parasitic wasps inject genetic material into their hosts to manipulate their biology, such as preventing the host from developing defenses or boosting the wasp's survival. This transfer alters the host's genes, enabling the wasps to increase their reproductive success. Essentially, wasp-borne genes are pieces of genetic information carried by wasps that can influence or change the genetics of other organisms they interact with.
